Facade sealing in Arlington
We are often asked to look at water coming in around frames. Very often the perimeter bead has cracked or lost its grip, though that isn’t the only cause. We will tell you if we think the leak is coming from somewhere sealant won’t fix. If you have draughts around frames and panels and perimeter sealant that has split or peeled away, we can put it right, whatever the surface. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, in Arlington it comes down to the same thing: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Conversions of older rural buildings near smaller places such as Arlington bring stone, flint, brick and timber up against new glazing. Those joints need a sealant that suits an uneven, sometimes porous surface, and often a colour chosen for the building.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: twelve months on the work we carried out. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

Common questions from Arlington clients
Will you take on work at estates like Berwick Court Farm Business Park, close to Arlington?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Arlington, Berwick Court Farm Business Park among them, are all within reach. A few photos and the unit address let us price the work.
Is Arlington too far out for you?
No. Places such as Arlington are covered as much as the big towns. We work across Greater London and the South East. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
What do you charge?
It depends on the job: the volume of work, the access, the specified product and how it’s phased. Call for a quote and we’ll price it properly.
Will you quote for a small job?
We quote for single jobs as well as large packages and programmes. Photos and a description are enough to start.
Are you CHAS accredited?
Yes. CHAS accredited, Constructionline member, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
Can you just add new sealant on top?
No. A bead run over old sealant soon lifts. We remove the failed sealant, clean the faces, set the depth and reseal.
Do you offer coloured sealant?
In many cases, yes. Many products come in a range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or surrounding finishes is often possible. We confirm what’s available for the specified product when we quote.
What the job involves on each surface
Cladding panel joints
Joints between cladding panels open and close with temperature. We use a product rated for the movement and suited to the panel surface.
Coping and flashing joints
Coping and flashing joints are included where sealant is the specified fix. They sit in the most exposed positions on the building and need a durable external sealant.
Work for main contractors and building owners
If you look after buildings for someone else, you need clear quotes and clear reporting. You get a fixed quote, an agreed scope and a walk round at the end, plus a 12-month guarantee.
Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, and each stage is agreed with your contact.

What else we do in Arlington
How the quote is worked out
What shapes the price:
- The size and state of each joint
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- The total length or number of joints
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
The product called for affects the cost, and so does the preparation, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
Details that help us quote
Whether it’s one area or a whole building, these details speed things up:
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- Access details, including height
- The postcode of the building
- Any dates the work must fit around
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we will price against exactly what is specified. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photos and a few notes.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. Where it goes wrong is preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
Certain joints really need a specialist: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. Getting these wrong usually costs more in the end than doing them right.
When something else is needed
Honesty saves time and money. New sealant won’t cure:
- Specialist high-level access methods
- Leaks from roofs, gutters or failed flashings rather than sealant joints
- Work on the window or framing system itself
If in doubt, call 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Shopfront frames
- Cladding panel joints
- Coping and flashing joints
- Window and door perimeters
- Stone and brick facade joints
Diagnose, treat, sign off
Site rules come first: signing in, inductions and any permit to work. With the paperwork done, we take the joints in the sequence agreed with you, and each area is checked before we leave it. Jobs in and around smaller places like Arlington are typically planned as a single visit, so we ask for photographs and rough sizes first. That way the right products come on the day.
- First we review photos, drawings or what we saw on a visit, and agree how each joint will be reached.
- The old bead is cut away completely, not overlaid.
- Joint faces are cleaned to firm, sound material, with primer where the sealant maker specifies it.
- Backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints, limits the depth.
- A facade-grade sealant rated for the movement goes in, tooled to a concave profile.
- The completed runs are checked with you, then the 12-month guarantee applies.
Before we start on site
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
Ask for a quote
We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so you know the figure before anyone is on site. To start the process, ring 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.

Facades, frames and programmes in Arlington
Central London is about 47 miles from Arlington. Commuter-belt towns tend to see a steady flow of new flats, offices and commercial schemes, so mastic packages have to keep pace with busy programmes. Arlington is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. Even so, frost and condensation on steel and glass are common on winter mornings, so we time external mastic for dry faces and agree it with the site team.
Older buildings in the area around Arlington, such as Michelham Priory (1.5 miles north-east of Arlington), need care when sealed: the product has to suit soft or historic materials. New wings at hospitals like Hellingly Hospital Railway (to the north-east of Arlington) bring long runs of window and panel joints to seal. Recladding or extending a unit at a site like Berwick Court Farm Business Park, 2.2 miles to the south-west of Arlington, brings panel joints and frame perimeters into the programme.
